Thats probably the maddest thing I have ever seen someone do in a LR
I know this is a bit nerdy but in acceleration up the dune I noticed black smoke coming from the exhaust, I thought they had a particulate filter? Under heavy acceleration mine never does this, and exhausts are spottless when I was cleaning by them

I can only guess from the location that the fuel they are using isn't the best and/or perhaps they've gone old skool and removed any "obstructions" from the exhaust such as cats, filters, silencers etc
My D3 doesn't seem to smoke too bad under load but if I floor our 10 plate F2 it lays a massive smokescreen behind it - I get embarrassed looking in the rear view when I pull out of junctions quickly Tony

Looks like spare wheel and wheel trim, presumably OSR

having watched it again I wonder if its the front left wheel.......the final position of the wheel (or other large bit of car) is way off to the left of where the car touches down and I reckon it took the wheel arch with it when it let go.
If it were the spare it would be visible falling out and would be close to the line the car took, not several metres off to the side.

I bet it's the spare....the front well landed straightish, not like it fell off. I circled the spare and drew the path. :D
